Puff the Magic Dragon faces historic charges of forcing young boys to frolic

Earlier today officers from Operation Yewtree raided the remote cave in a land called Honah Lee, where former 60's children’s radio star has been living for years as a virtual recluse. They are investigating allegations brought by a man, who has been named on the Internet as Little Jackie Paper, that that rascal Puff forced him to frolic in the autumn mists, after plying him with gifts of strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. The man also claims they made many trips together on Puff’s boat with billowed sail, where the dragon would insist that the boy kept a lookout perched on his gigantic tail.

It is believed that many high ranking people in society knew about these trips. Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came, and Puff also introduced the young boy to his associates in the criminal fraternity. Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name.

As he was taken away in an unmarked police car the once mighty dragon’s head was bent in sorrow, and his green scales fell like rain. He completely denies all the accusations. His publicity agent, Clifford the Dragon, explained the two had been engaged in a perfectly normal, mutually respectful, relationship. “The problem was a dragon lives forever but not so little boys. Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys. One grey night it happened, the boy came no more, and Puff that mighty dragon ceased his fearless roar. He no longer went to play along the cherry lane. Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave, and sadly retreated into his cave. There he began a spiral of decline which started when he developed a Coal habit, but which ended in Coke abuse.” A spokesperson for the police said, “There’s no smoke without fire”.
